Wigs make out of pasta and hate-couture from hose pipes – this former TV star's creativity knows no bounds

While many will not remember his face from the classic fantasy series Buffy the Vampire Slayer, the actor has reclaimed the spotlight (sort of) a decade later with his bizarre Instagram account. Tom Lenk, who played super villain Andrew Wells on the show, has an Instagram page dedicated to his improvised and often funny recreations of celebrities’ red carpet moments, simply using household items.

The 39-year-old may have taken a break from acting, but he has definitely channelled his talent elsewhere. From wigs made out pasta to hate-couture made with hose pipes, his creative side seems to know no bounds.

In a photo series he’s dubbed “Lenk Lewk For Less”, Tom has managed to recreate looks from the Olsen twins trademark boho chic gowns using blankets, and Vogue editor Anna Wintour’s Chanel Haute Couture gown with some strategically placed towels and a branch.

But his best work may well be recreating Mariah Carey’s short black and gold ensemble using pantyhose and gold paper foil, finishing off the look with pink paper underneath his ‘Lewkboutin’ heels. “We nearly lost Mariah this week when her Louboutin went down,” he wrote. “Why pay full price for those red bottoms? A Lewkboutin by #LenkLewkForLess gets the job done. I mean don't get me wrong you're still gonna fall down. But the price tag will hurt less.”
